Face Shape Haircut Mistakes

Should you cut fringe like Christina Ricci? See if your haircut is flattering your face

Shape: RoundHow to tell: Same-width forehead and lower face, with prominent cheeksWhat suits your shape: Round-faced women can minimize fullness with a cut that features a middle or slightly off-center part and face-framing layers. "Flowing pieces of hair that cover the sides of the face temper full cheeks and make the face appear longer and leaner," Buckett says. Long, side-swept bangs that end at the cheekbones also help create a more chiseled illusion. Round-shaped stars:
Long: Jennifer Hudson
Tumbling curls with shorter layers that cover the sides of the face and add volume to the back sections help to further slim Hudson's face
Short to medium: Cameron Diaz
Worn straight or wavy, face-framing side sections help camouflage roundness by covering the sides of the face
Pixie: Renee Zellweger
Longer pieces on top with close-cut locks in the back help make cheekbones look more angular and less full

Needed more info. I've always thought I have a square shape face, but this leaves me thinking I MIGHT have a round -- although still unsure. All I know is my short shag hairstyle with bangs and a side part is highly flattering.
